I see what you're saying, but you're profiling. I want to see Cotto fight all the top Welters, I always said(before Tony lost to Shane) that if Cotto beat Tony in a rematch and didn't fight Paul I'd be pissed. Yes, I think Cotto needs to clean out his division.
Going up in divisions would be tough though because of his body type. Mayweather was fairly tall and very long so it was easier for him to go up in weight ya know? Cotto's a small welter weight with a very short reach. Imagine him at Middleweight? That would be crazy, him an his 68 inch reach would never survive.
For Cotto to really be considered great he needs to clear out his division, I agree with that. But I think his size and body type kind of prevent him from being successful going up in weight.
